Spring and Security in the times of AI

AI is changing software security fast, and the Spring team just pulled back the curtain on it.AI is changing software security fast, and the Spring team just pulled back the curtain on it. In this video I break down Spring's recent blog post on how generative AI is reshaping vulnerability reporting across the open-source world. The numbers are staggering. Spring typically sees about 6.5 security reports per month. In March 2026 that jumped to 55 community reports, leading to 26 new CVEs in April. Then April brought an unprecedented 482 reports across 65 projects (370 from internal AI scanning, 112 from the community). AI has dramatically lowered the barrier to finding vulnerabilities, and the whole ecosystem is feeling it. I also get into the nuance: not every report is a real CVE (37% of internal scanning results were duplicates or invalid), why the release train was moved and condensed to June 8-14, and why upgrading to the latest patches matters more than ever right now. 🔗 Original post: https://spring.io/blog/2026/06/01/spr... 🔒 Security Advisories: https://spring.io/security 📅 Release Calendar: https://calendar.spring.io 🏢 Enterprise Spring: https://enterprise.spring.io
